Discogs says: Alba is a "project devoted to Electro Disco". The guys behind this project are well known to the scene: Keen K, Michael Künzer and Roland Faber. And discogs is right: Philomena is Electro Disco at its best - massive synth-work and a catchy melody-line. I like this piece of music.

Back to Italo again: it's featured on one of the best recent releases I know: "Messages from the void Vol. 2" on Cyber Dance Records. This double album unites some of the best Electro Disco tracks of the last years. Later I'll introduce some more tracks of this release. It's really worth!!!

"Flight to Zanzibar" was originally from 2010. The man behind "Night System" is our good friend from London: James Penrose. Italo legend Flemming Dalum remixed this gem for the double album. It's formidable.

Now you have to fasten your seatbelt if you don't want to be blown away. "Open your eyes" is the second track on the EP I mentioned in the last post down below. Fred Ventura is simply a living Italo-legend.

This one is the Vulcan Mix (it's a pity I couldn't find the Hypnoosi Mix of that because it's an absolutely energetic tune full of power):

This comes from Norway and has been produced by Joachim Dyrdahl. It's featured in the latest Cosmic Beach Club Mix from The Robot Scientists. Relaxed mood and psychodelic vibe to listen to on a white-sanded beach with a cocktail in your hand.

I would say that this is one of the earliest house-called tracks before the big house-business started up. I like this one because it has some nice melody-synth-elements besides the typical house feeling.

This 12inch is actually a double A-side in my opinion. The first track "Eurodans" sounds like a space journey on the beach and the second track "Italian stallion" hits the floor like hell. A pity I only found "Eurodans" on youtube.
